Hello Gentlemen;
Please do not take it as fact that this pilot might not have survived; It is quite possible that an amendment is lurking somewhere in Luftwaffe loss documents as I still have not had time to double check all of those 15.000 pages; there are still many errors in those 1941 pages <unexplained ´double losses´ of ´the same´ numbers etc.> and also many name amendments are probably missing etc.
Just in case there might be a revision of abowe books...
